1. The rooms, where small, but to be honest you didn't need any more room & the bathrooms (although shared) where spotless & i never once in 7 days had that awkward moment of running into someone as they where coming into the bathroom and me heading out.

2. We had a twin room, and if I wasn't sharing with my sister, it might be a bit awkward being in such close proximity to just an acquaintance.

3. I also didn't 'awkwardly' encounter another customer wrapped in a towel enroute to the washroom at the same time as me either :) The lobby, hallways, and rooms are all very modern.

4. The see-through shower would prove awkward for those without romantic involvement.

"Great place solo or for couples " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/5/2009 Vote

5. The in-room bathroom situation is rather awkward as it's just a clear glass shower right next to the bed.

6. They were cleaned throughout the day and I didn`t have to wait once to use the toilet or the shower and there were no awkward banging on the door moments as your room has a display to tell you when the bathrooms are free.

7. The shower was a little awkward to use because of its size, but the shower head was phenomenal.

8. Our room (the 'Bunk Pod' - a twin with bunkbeds) was extremely small (which made packing on check-out day a bit awkward; in fact, one of us had to leave the room to enable the other one enough space to move around the room to pack) but we did expect that.

9. The 'double' bed was not of the usual size of a double bed which may again be awkward especially if you are quite tall, your legs would just dangle off the edge of the bed.

10. Unless you don`t mind showering or peeing in front of people then you may find it rather awkward.
